Wow, it is amazing the difference between the two. The later looks like a different watch, so many of the parts have been refined. The earlier looks rougher and even somehow rushed, slapdashed.
Could the specs have been that loose, or were they just learning as they went? I can only imagine what the 601s that did make it out early look like. A cheaper movement for sure! Easy to see how there could’ve been quality issues.
Thanks for sharing (and for doing!) this work.
My two caveats:
1) I'm wrong many times a day --just ask my wife!
2) Always seeking to learn more
